I'm the only ops-y person in my group. I've done things so far with Terraform HCL, but a) it's not a great language, and b) I can't really ask other folks to learn it. But they all know Python, so my theory is that if I can wrap our ops stuff up in familiar-looking code, they'll be able to work with it effectively.
Is one of these toolkits better than the other? I'm inclined to go with Terraform CDK just because they company's further along, but I'd love other people's takes.
